Canadian Thanksgiving is on Monday and this is our Thanksgiving weekend. Today I will be having dinner with my family and we will be enjoying turkey with all the trimmings. Because Mom has been in hospital and not well, we're doing it a bit different this year. Mom still wanted to have it, so everyone is bringing food. In the past, she wanted to cook everything herself. That's just no possible this year so she is cooking the turkey (her choice) and we're all bringing the trimmings.We all have much to be thankful for this year. My brother is thankful he still has his son with him, even though he is still recuperating from the brain injury he got in a car accident in March.
I am thankful for my health. After 4 years of feeling terrible, I'm feeling great. The heart surgery was a great success and I am so thankful for that.
We are all thankful that Mom's stroke didn't leave her paralzyed or unable to speak, though her speech is still slurred. At least she can still communicate with us.
We're thankful for food on the table, a roof over our heads and the company of each other on this Thanksgiving weekend. There are so many people in the world who don't have even the bare necessities of life. We have much to be thankful for.
We do have much to be thankful for. I'm thankful for the fact that you are feeling so much better. Enjoy Monday!

ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving Mary! So much to be thankful for!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving and I'll have your mom in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on.
Happy Thanksgiving to you..
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Mary. "HAPPY CANADIAN THANKSGIVING" to you and your tomorrow. It will be Columbus Day here in the States. All the Banks, Post Offices, and Government and State Offices will be closed. I'm glad your Mother is still going to cook the Turkey for your Thanksgiving Dinner. At least she will still feel like she is doing something. My speech and my hubby's speech is still somewhat slurred at times as well. We still have a little over a month until our Thanksgiving here in the States. I have no idea yet what our plans will be for that day. I appreciate you keeping me and my family in your prayers. I know we sure need them. I hope you enjoy your time with your Family tomorrow and may GOD continue to BLESS each and everyone of you. Take care my friend.
ReplyDeleteLove and hugs,
